Yesterday evening, the ‘biggest leak in military history’ took place. This unprecedented trove of classified U.S. military documents, reveals in part: How a secret ‘black’ unit of U.S. Special Forces hunts down Taliban leaders for ‘kill or capture’ without trial; that Americans fighting the war have long harbored strong suspicions that Pakistan’s spy service is guiding the Afghan insurgency while Pakistan receives more than $1 billion in U.S. aid.; and how the U.S. covered up evidence that the Taliban has used portable, heat-seeking missiles against Western aircraft – weapons that helped defeat the Soviet occupation.
